To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SARAH E.

A series of transverse grooves, c e, is formed in the bottom ofthe board at about its central portion, and is designed to enable the board to be adjusted on the fulcrum-block to suit the varying weights of the children who may be placed in the seats. E represents a vertical pole xed in the top of the fulcrumblock, an d provided with a pulley, a', near its upper end, over which runs the cord z, the ends of which are to be held in the hand by the children, and serve both as a means of amusement and as an aid in keeping them upright and properly balanced. The seats are usually provided with cushions m, rails r, and guards lv, and Openings are made in front of the seats for the passage of the childrens feet. These openings are lettered k.

I claim- In combination with the lever or board B, provided with the slot c, Openings k, seats D, and grooves c, the fulcrum-block A having the angular bearing b, and the pole E with its pulley a and cord z, substantially as specified.
